How to Make Peach Cobbler Cupcakes

Let’s Make It Together:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined. Fold in the diced peaches and cinnamon.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. For the streusel, combine brown sugar, oatmeal, and melted butter in a bowl until crumbly.
  8. Once cupcakes are cooled, pipe cream cheese frosting on top and sprinkle with brown sugar streusel. Enjoy!

Delicious Variations to Try

  • Berry Bliss: Swap out peaches for ripe blueberries or raspberries for a zesty twist that’s equally delectable.
  • Nutty Delight: Add chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter for a crunchy texture and a hint of nuttiness.
  • Cinnamon Swirl: Before baking, swirl in a little extra cinnamon sugar into the batter for an indulgent cinnamon burst.
  • Lemon Zest Upgrade: For a refreshing kick, grate some lemon zest into the batter, balancing the sweetness with its citrusy tang.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

  • Make-Ahead Magic: These cupcakes can be baked a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  • Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have buttermilk? You can substitute with regular milk plus a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice; let it sit for a few minutes before using.
  • Frosting Freeze: If you’re short on time, the cream cheese frosting can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator—just bring it to room temperature before piping.
  • Leftover Storage: Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds for that freshly baked taste!
